Harnessing the power of the sun

Bees are essential for nature and people alike. In 2018, POLIBOY set up two beehives in our company garden—a symbolic step toward a greener future.

Shaping the Future

Training with Responsibility

At POLIBOY, vocational training is both a long-standing tradition and a matter close to our hearts. For decades, we have been offering young people the opportunity to start their careers with a solid foundation. In doing so, we see ourselves not just as educators, but as companions on their journey. Because anyone who trains with POLIBOY takes on responsibility for the personal and professional development of a young person.

 

Our high retention rate shows that this responsibility doesn’t end with a successful final exam. Many of our employees began their journey with an apprenticeship at POLIBOY – and today, after many years with the company, they are an indispensable part of our team. This continuity fills us with pride and reflects our deep commitment to appreciation and loyalty.

 

We are particularly passionate about the German dual vocational training system. The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience is, in our view, a highly successful model. It not only imparts valuable skills, but also supports young people in making a smooth and confident transition into working life. We are committed to helping ensure this system continues to thrive in the future.

 

Starting an apprenticeship at POLIBOY means more than just learning a trade – it’s about gaining a sense of belonging and future security. Because for us, training is more than a pathway to a diploma: it’s a promise to build perspectives – together.

Creating Opportunities

Securing Vocational Training

When a company files for insolvency, it often means a sudden and painful turning point for many apprentices: the future becomes uncertain, daily routines collapse, and instead of focusing on upcoming exams, young people are faced with the stressful task of finding a new training position. We understand this sense of insecurity – and the fear of falling behind. This is exactly where we, as a responsible training company, feel called to step in.

 

At POLIBOY, we consider it both our social and corporate responsibility to stand by young people in such difficult situations. That’s why we decided to offer an apprentice from an insolvent company the opportunity to continue their training with us.

 

Welcoming a trainee who has already gained experience in another company – perhaps even in a different industry – is not a hurdle for us, but a valuable challenge. We take an individual approach, meet them where they are in their learning journey, and build bridges into our workflows. Most importantly, we embrace the strengths they already bring. Because every person has their own story – and this diversity enriches our team.

 

The continuation of this apprenticeship was supported by a European Union funding program. We are grateful for this support, as it enables us to safeguard opportunities and provide young people with stability – even in uncertain times.
